Did I tweak nearly every slide of my regression deck in preparation for next month’s charity course? Only one way to find out!

I think it's similar here in Finland, and starkingly different from back home in Costa Rica.
As an anecdote, in the math building (in CR) there was a janitor who called *everyone* Dr, because at some point some prof yelled at him for not calling him dr/prof

In Norway, you’ll be lucky if undergrads call you *anything*. Most messages or emails simply begin with, “Hei…”.
I’m fine with this personally as it’s the norm here, but it *does* mean I usually need to give “the talk” to more senior students who need to contact researchers outside Norway

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was released in 1997, about a character frozen in time in 1967. The same movie, released today, would star a character frozen in time in 1995.

combinatorics are never on our side 😔
the thing about this is that combinatorics are not on your side. you are probably going to end up running pretty similar recipes, as is the case here. in particular, two different pear crisps.

"Where are your error bars?"
To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.
Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert
When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer.

AI isn't replacing radiologists
Radiology combines digital images, clear benchmarks, and repeatable tasks. But demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high.
